You've decided to tackle machine learning - because you're job hunting, embarking on a new project, or just think self-driving cars are cool. But where to start? It's easy to be intimidated, even as a software developer. The good news is that it doesn't have to be that hard. Master machine learning by writing code one line at a time, from simple learning programs all the way to a true deep learning system. Tackle the hard topics by breaking them down so they're easier to understand, and build your confidence by getting your hands dirty. Peel away the obscurities of machine learning, starting from scratch and going all the way to deep learning. Machine learning can be intimidating, with its reliance on math and algorithms that most programmers don't encounter in their regular work. Take a hands-on approach, writing the Python code yourself, without any libraries to obscure what's really going on. Iterate on your design, and add layers of complexity as you go. Build an image recognition application from scratch with supervised learning. Predict the future with linear regression. Dive into gradient descent, a fundamental algorithm that drives most of machine learning. Create perceptrons to classify data. Build neural networks to tackle more complex and sophisticated data sets. Train and refine those networks with backpropagation and batching. Layer the neural networks, eliminate overfitting, and add convolution to transform your neural network into a true deep learning system. Start from the beginning and code your way to machine learning mastery. What You Need: The examples in this book are written in Python, but don't worry if you don't know this language: you'll pick up all the Python you need very quickly. Apart from that, you'll only need your computer, and your code-adept brain.

IT-Projekte haben in vielen Unternehmen eine zentrale Bedeutung. Sie binden Ressourcen und generieren entsprechende Kosten. Im Durchschnitt werden in Unternehmen 33 Projekte pro 1000 Mitarbeitern durchgefuhrt und pro Mitarbeiter und Jahr EUR 8.000 in IT-Projekte investiert. Von diesen Projekten werden weniger als die Halfte erfolgreich abgeschlossen.

An theoretischem Wissen respektive an der Ausbildung kann es nicht liegen. Aus Sicht der Autoren fehlt es den Projektmanagern oft an der notwendigen Reflexion, dies besonders wenn die Projekte in kritische Phasen treten. Ein Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen den Projektleitern findet vielfach aus zeitlichen Grunden nur unvollkommen statt. Hier setzen die Autoren an. Sie legen das Schwergewicht auf die kritischen Erfolgsfaktoren eines IT-Projekts. Gegliedert nach Erfolgsfaktoren fuhrt das Buch zum Thema und veranschaulicht Losungswege anhand von Beispielen aus der Praxis.

Real-Time Enterprise (RTE) ist eine Unternehmensstruktur, die durch kontinuierliche Beschleunigung der Managementprozesse die eigene Aktions- und Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit nachhaltig verbessert und verzogerungsfrei auf externe sowie interne Anderungen reagieren und damit Zeit und Kosten einsparen kann. Voraussetzungen und Rahmenbedingungen hierfur sind durchgangig integrierte Geschaftsprozesse und Informationsflusse entlang der kompletten Wertschopfungskette. Im Idealfall sind dabei alle Arbeitsprozesse in einem Unternehmen optimal aufeinander abgestimmt, so dass Data Warehouse, Supply Chain Management, Customer Relationship Management und Enterprise Resource Planning wirkungsvoll ineinander greifen. Dabei endet die Betrachtung von Prozessen und Informationen nicht an den Unternehmensgrenzen. Statt dessen sind Kunden und beteiligte Partnerfirmen beziehungsweise deren Prozesse transparent eingebunden und tauschen Informationen uber alle relevanten Ereignisse zeitnah aus. "

This book is intended for someone learning functions of a complex variable and who enjoys using MATLAB. It will enhance the exprience of learning complex variable theory and will strengthen the knowledge of someone already trained in ths branch of advanced calculus. ABET, the accrediting board for engineering programs, makes it clear that engineering graduates must be skilled in the art of programming in a language such as MATLAB (R). Supplying students with a bridge between the functions of complex variable theory and MATLAB, this supplemental text enables instructors to easily add a MATLAB component to their complex variables courses. A MATLAB (R) Companion to Complex Variables provides readers with a clear understanding of the utility of MATLAB in complex variable calculus. An ideal adjunct to standard texts on the functions of complex variables, the book allows professors to quickly find and assign MATLAB programming problems that will strengthen students' knowledge of the language and concepts of complex variable theory. The book shows students how MATLAB can be a powerful learning aid in such staples of complex variable theory as conformal mapping, infinite series, contour integration, and Laplace and Fourier transforms. In addition to MATLAB programming problems, the text includes many examples in each chapter along with MATLAB code. Fractals, the most recent interesting topic involving complex variables, demands to be treated with a language such as MATLAB. This book concludes with a Coda, which is devoted entirely to this visually intriguing subject. MATLAB is not without constraints, limitations, irritations, and quirks, and there are subtleties involved in performing the calculus of complex variable theory with this language. Without knowledge of these subtleties, engineers or scientists attempting to use MATLAB for solutions of practical problems in complex variable theory suffer the risk of making major mistakes. This book serves as an early warning system about these pitfalls.
